In Breaking bad, Huell & Kuby takes a nap over the pile of money and seems like it has triggered a latent dream of many.

CPI-M leader Samar Acharjee sleeping over a bed of money

Recently, I just read the news of CPI-M leader from Tripura Samar Acharjee was expelled for sleeping over a bed of money.

Couple of years ago Indian Cabinet Minister for Telecom Sukh Ram was also caught with bundles of cash stuffed into his mattress. However I must appreciate Samar for the fact that he showed me that 20L ($33,000/-) is all that one needs to accumulate to fulfill this dream. Although I don’t have this kind of cash, but 20L is an amount that can be arranged if someone is motivated enough.

On a side note: Kudos for CPI-M for swift action against corruption in its ranks. Hopefully other political parties will also follow suit.
